Hi, I have a component that creates an xml object and imports xml into it. The component then processes the xml.

The problems I'm running into is:

1. The xml file isn't local. Its on the network, so there is a lag.
2. The same component is used multiple times on the same page. So each component instantiates a new xml object and imports the xml data.

I'm hoping to import the xml when the page loads. Then all the components could use the data that the page loader imported.

The problem is, I'm not sure how to bridge the component and the doc class.

How does the components access the doc classes data without each component instantiating the class? Which of course defeats the purpose.

Any help is much appreciated.
